Auction rules
(Excerpt of the most important regulations)
Bidder
The auction house is entitled to identify bidders before collecting the auction number and entering the auction hall. Identification of a bidder is carried out on the basis of produced papers verifying his or hers identity, e. g. identification card or valid passport. Proclamation of possessor of auction number is drawn up after verification of his or hers identity. The proclamation binds the possessor of the auction number to take over and pay all objects that he or she bought at the auction in accordance with the auction rules.
Course of auction
Everyone who produces admission ticket in the form of catalogue is entitled to collect his or hers auction number. The auction number is bound by 500,- Sk deposit. The deposit is paid back when the auction number is given back, at latest two hours after the last piece came under the hammer. The deposit will be under no circumstances paid back after this time. Who is not possessing the auction number is not able to buy at auction, only in the case that he or she is an acquisitor buying in the representation of someone.
Bidding
The auction of things takes place if bidders make a higher bid (bidding). The bidder bids by holding his or hers auction number clearly up. If more people bid, the person in charge of the auction (auctioneer) counts rising bids.
The organiser reserves the right to estimate the amount of the closest higher bid in accordance with the character of the thing sold at auction (by the price of the subject sold at auction):
up to 10 000,- Sk - 1 000,- Sk
up to 50 000,- Sk - 2 000,- Sk
up to 100 000,- Sk - 3 000,- Sk
up to 500 000,- Sk - 5 000,- Sk
more than 500 000,- Sk - 25 000,- Sk
Buyer
If none bids after the second call, the auctioneer repeats the last bid (the price reached in last bidding - the auction price) and sells the thing to the bidder. The buyer is the person to whom the last bidding was sold.
The ownership and the right to hand over the object sold at auction come into being only after payment of the whole sum of the object. The whole sum of the object is total of the price of subject sold at auction and auction commission.
Auction under limit
The auction house reserves the right to reduce the price of the object offered at auction supplementary. However, realization of sale of an object for a price lower than its limit price mentioned in the auction catalogue is conditioned upon supplementary approval of its owner.
Way of payment
In the course of auction is the buyer present at the auction obliged to pay the auction price cash. After the last object comes under the hammer after the end of auction, the buyer present at the auction is obliged to pay the auction price if he did not agree with the auction house on credit.
The auction house can give the buyer a credit which is conditioned upon payment of 20% total price deposit. The auction house is entitled to withdraw from the contract if the buyer is more than 14 days behind with payment of the total sum of object (including the auction commission). In that case the 20% from total price forfeits to the auction house as an equivalent of costs for selling the object at auction and the missed profit.
Auction price
Reached auction price (the last bid) is the buying price. The auctioneer gives the buyer a receipt for the payment. When paying the buying price the auctioneer charges the buyer 10% (up to the price of 80 000,- Sk), or 5% (price higher than 80 000,- Sk) of the price as a special auction commission. When paying by credit card the auction commission is 4% higher.
